OUR BENCHMARK GOAL?

Raise The Bar For The Whole OUTDOOR ACTIVEWEAR Industry Because Better Content Means

Fewer Returns, Higher Margins, And Happier Customers.

Why Benchmark PDP Content Is More Important Than Ever?

  • Conversion Catalyst

    Visual content replaces the in-store experience and works as your 24/7 sales representative.
    In categories like jackets, footwear, and tents, strong visuals = higher trust, faster decisions, more purchases.
  • Return Rate Killer

    Most returns happen because expectations weren’t met.

    Detailed visuals and clear descriptions minimize surprise - and slash reverse logistics costs.
